Title:

Simulation of Coastal Storm Surge and Rainfall Flooding Scenarios at Camp Lejeune with GSSHA

Author(s):

Nawa Raj Pradhan, Charles W. Downer, Samantha N. Sinclair, and Clay LaHatte

Purpose/Abstract:

This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) describes the development of a computer model to examine flooding scenarios with pre-defined storm surge and extreme rainfall due to tropical systems, using the Gridded Surface Subsurface Hydrologic Analysis (GSSHA) numerical modeling system (Downer et al. 2005). This model serves as a platform for future deployment of GSSHA models on large basins in this type of setting with enhanced Military Hydrologic Simulator capabilities.
